New Habitat

Our tortoises are finally home after their exciting vacation. They had a lot of fun meeting new people, fish, and even some dogs. They came back to the watershed room with some souvenirs. their daytime habitat now has 2 plants (cactus), and a new material for bedding. The bedding is a mixture of sand, soil, and substrate. Pictures of the new bedding will be available soon.

Spring Break Plans

Our tortoises have exciting spring break plans! They are going to Lexi's house! Lexi takes care of our tortoises most of the time, so they would feel right at home. Rocky and Wise can't stay at school over break, because no one is there to take care of them. When asked about Rocky and Wise's spring break plans this is what Lexi had to say, "They will go on an african safari and see many species of exotic fish." Rocky and Wise will depart from our classroom at 3:00 on Friday, and are expected to arrive at their destination at about 3:05. Bon Voyage!

Tortoise OUTSIDE the classroom

Now that the weather is getting warmer, our tortoises are starting to explore outside of our classroom. We try to get them outside as often as possible to expose them to UV rays. They enjoy our small grassy yard, although we don't let them eat any plants.
